Are you looking for ways to celebrate this Memorial Day holiday? Memorial Day marks the beginning of the summer which is celebrated with BBQ’s, picnics and spending time with family and friends. Make sure to find time this Memorial Day to remember and honor what the day stands for. Here are some great ideas:

Decorate with Flags: Visit a local cemetery and place flags on gravestones of veterans. Don’t forgot to decorate your home with flags to show appreciation for those who have and are serving in the armed forces.

Participate in the National Moment of Remembrance: At 3 pm on Memorial Day pause for one minute and remember those who have and are serving in the armed forces.

Thank a veteran: Have you family visit family members or friends that have served. Listen to their experiences. If you do not have veterans close you can take a moment to write letters.

Attend a parade: Some towns have parades on Memorial Day. You can find information for events on city websites.

Doughnut lovers have been celebrating National Doughnut Day since 1938! The first Friday in June celebrates the work of the Salvation Army Doughnut Lassies who served doughnuts to soldiers stationed in France during WWI. Times were rough and moral was low, so Ensign Margaret Sheldon and Adjutant Helen Purviance began to fry doughnuts in soldier’s helmets and handed them out with coffee. The first official National Doughnut Day was held in Chicago during the great depression to celebrate the Dough Lassies and raise money for struggling families. Today, the holiday continues as a fun excuse to eat our favorite bakery treat.

Everyone has their go-to doughnut variety, but for some, their favorite doughnut hasn’t even been made yet. This year we gave kids the chance to turn their doughnut dreams into reality with our Design a Doughnut contest. Check out some of the submissions. One lucky kid from each of our stores will have their doughnut made on June 2.
